Look no further than Blue Lobelia, an annual whose flowers that are a true, vibrant, beautiful blue that blooms continuously throughout the summer but is easy to care for, and does well in the ground, containers or window boxes. Start by sowing seeds or buy fully grown plants. Place them in either a sunny or partially sunny spot in the garden, add a little slow-release fertilizer, water well but don’t overwater. This is not a plant that likes overwatered! They are about six to eight inches when you plant them but can spread about twenty-four inches by mid-summer so you can trim them to about half height if desired. Great news, you can even overwinter your plants by keeping them indoors in a sunny location. They will bloom all winter and be ready for re-location come spring. That’s two sets of plants for the price of one! You can even start new plants by setting 4-inch stem cuttings in moist soil in a shaded spot until the new roots form. With minimal effort, your new Lobelias are ready to come spring. Love True Blue? Love Lobelias! A winner in every way! When these plants are in bloom, they look spectacular and produces an impressive amount of color for all gardens.
